Landscaping with improved verges, trees and planting will also be created.

Coun Leigh Bramall, Sheffield Council cabinet member for development, said: “The new improvements at Buchanan Road will bring a high quality, user-friendly public space to Chaucer District Centre for local people and visitors to enjoy.

“The area has already benefited from significant investment in the past few years.

“This new scheme will help to further tie together the many valuable assets within it.”
